Several people are suing the NutriBullet parent company after the devices allegedly burst while they were using them, causing severe injuries.
More than a dozen owners claim the NutriBullets build up heat and pressure due to how quickly the blades spin, causing the contents inside to heat up and burst from the rest of the machine.
One woman said she got second degree burns after the contents inside heated up while she was using, causing the NutriBullet to explode, sending hot liquid on her, according to a report by Fox 11.
According to Fox 11, an attorney for the company said the misuse of the device is what most likely caused and explosions. He also said it’s “physically impossible” for a NutriBullet to heat up enough to burst after just 15 to 20 seconds of use.
The company released a statement saying that they will investigate to determine what happened.
